I have more than 10K fonts on my computer. Naturally, I can't install them all at once. That would bring windows to its knees.

I need to make a list of these fonts. A list of filenames won't do, since most of them have irrelevant file names. For instance 00195934.ttf may be "Times New Roman". Hence "dir *.ttf /b>list.txt" is not an option.

Font viewer utilities show the names of individual fonts, but I can't find one that can list all fonts in a given folder.

how about AMP Font Viewer? it claims to be able to show a "list of the fonts from a folder with several display options."

This one shows me a list of fonts, but not the names of the associated font files. Anyway, this is better than nothing. It does not let me export the list to a text file, but I can make faststone capture take a screenshot of the list, and put it through an OCR.

Better than nothing I guess. Thanks a lot.

Anyway, if anyone knows a program that can list fonts alongside the file names, I'd appreciate it as well.

that's not so good then.. however try this - The Font Thing. you can browse and add the fonts into a 'collection' (see fig. 1). for each collection, a text file is generated with the fonts name and its corresponding filename in a CSV-like manner (see fig. 2). you just need to change the file's extension to something other than the default 'TFT'.

FontOrg and RedEars's FontRenamer are free and make an excellent combo.You may want to try FontOrg's List function. Both can be found in the download section over at: http://fontorg.us/default.html

List Button

List creates an HTML document in the Source Folder named FontOrg.html. It will look similar to the following example. Each font name is a hyperlink allowing you to click on it and open the font in the Windows font viewer.

FontOrg: It is supposed to do the job, but curiously, it wont. Even if I tick the "use internal font names" box.

The Font Thingie: It won't install... Some 16-bit work-system mumbo-jumbo says its installer. I don't have the win95 compatibility mode on my xp installation for some reason, so can't try it.

FontExpert: Highly polished program with some advanced functions. Its html list function can more than do the job. Find duplicate fonts function is also nice. Not free though.

Nexusfont: Nope, it's not created for my intent in mind.

X-Fonter: This one lets you place each font in a collection of your choice, and saves such collections in text files with a curious extension. Just changing the extension to txt gives you a list like this:

eleman, did you still need this utility? I can make a Coding Snack out of it if so. I assume you just need a simple text listing like this:

somename.ttf --> Arialothername.ttf --> Courier New...

Let me know. Thanks.

Thanks skwire, that is what I needed. But I took care of it, thanks to the recommendation of lanux128. The Font Thing does the job. You can create font collections in it. And it handily saves the list of fonts in a collection to a text file, with corresponding file names as well.
